Great, comfortable house close to Truckee.

We were four middle-aged guys up for three days of golf in Tahoe in August. The house was very clean and nicely furnished. Everything was set up for our arrival and the keypad code was given to us a few days ahead so we could get in at our own convenience. We grilled steaks one night and found all the basics to pull that off nicely and found a good restaurant for the second night. The courses at Tahoe Donner and Northstar were close and fit our budgets and abilities. I'd definitely stay here again for another summer trip or a couple of days on the slopes in winter.

Truckee Chalet Tree House - Wonderful mountain home for our family reunion

This is a lovely mountain home, fully equipped, with everything one could need. The kitchen was well equipped, which was appreciated as we love to cook, and the BBQ was used every evening. Donner lake is 20 minutes away, and beach time at Zephyr Cove/State Park was a wonderful day adventure. The drive around Lake Tahoe was lovely. Historic Old Truckee downtown was a great 1/2 day walk to explore the area. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet; a thoroughly relaxing and tranquil environment and atmosphere. The owner, Mr. Zhong, was very responsive with email information and a telephone call from my brother for the access code, since he arrived first & had trouble accessing smartphone email access information (security code).
